Is Your Life a Continuum of Waiting for Important Replys

I find that everyday I am waiting for a call on something important to my life.

But in a sense, I have had a lifetime of it. Each time I am trying to tell myself that it is not life or death, but still the adrenaline rush waiting for something to change the course of your life for a month or a year is hard to beat.

I am in sales. I make proposals. Each one is important to me because it means cash flow, a new account, maybe the start of a new trend or upward curve. But then there are other important things we all wait for. Ever want to get a car, apartment, loan, house and sit on the edge of your seat for hours or days until you hear.

Ever want a job, promotion, assignment, or bonus and have to wait by the phone, mail box, or email for the answer. Were you on pins and needles, so to speak?

Ever want your team to win a game, play off, championship and bite your nails and make several trips to the bathroom while waiting for the end? Ever have kids playing in important close games and just wish it would be over with a happy ending?

Ever watch someone go through something difficult like an injury, operation, or other events and just wish it would be ok? Ever watch kids need something and have to wait for the news like school elections, report cards, grades on tests or reports?

Life is full of waiting for big consequences. It never gets easier. I try to talk myself into calmness, but I still want to know and wish that I didn’t have to wait for the answer. How about you?
